( CHAPTER LINKS HERE (and most chapters are short!) )
CHAPTER SUMMARY: When Alphonse left for Xing years before, Edward gave every impression of being proud and happy for his younger brother….he’d done a first class job of convincing himself that after a lifetime lived for each other, the brothers could simply go their separate ways…and in his vulnerability he blundered into an impulsive marriage that is now collapsing around him in flames. All it took was one phone call…and years of pain and betrayal finally took their toll on the Elric Brothers…

As always, forrueme for her amazing artwork ( The voice was low and defeated. “We were supposed to see the world together. You didn’t want me with you anymore.” Alphonse was sick before. Now something terrible was tearing him apart from the inside—so sharp, so cold and piercing….”Edward….Ed, please…” “ You went away. I was so alone…” Edward turned his face away. He didn’t want to see Al or the tears that were flowing down those sunburnt cheeks )
